----------From ABC's blog "Lil'Kim and Derek did a great job of getting Kim to look and act sophisticated. She's used to doing hip hop dancing, not exactly classy, as the Quick Step requires. She's a diamond in the rough. Score: 23."

Lil' Kim Makes Mom Proud With Performance

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Lil' Kim's favorite show is "Dancing With the Stars," but the real reason she wanted to be in the ABC dance-off? To make mom proud.

"My mom loves the show, and with me going to prison and everything, I feel like my mom has been through so much," says Kim, taking a break during a recent rehearsal. "I've seen her cry a million and one times. I've seen her look at me like, 'I know my daughter has potential. I know this is not what God wanted her career and her life to be.' So I look at her now, and if she has tears of joy, that makes me happy."
